Core Matrix Contracting, LLC

Core Matrix Contracting, LLC, a Fort Lauderdale-based small disadvantaged business, delivers facilities maintenance, equipment repair, and specialized services to federal agencies across defense and civilian departments as a prime contractor, competing predominantly under total small business set-asides. The firm is a self-certified woman-owned, veteran-owned, and Black American-owned limited liability partnership that holds a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement with Air Mobility Command for mortuary services at Dover Air Force Base ($250 thousand, running through January 2029).

Core Matrix's capability footprint spans HVAC preventative maintenance and repair, refrigeration system maintenance, transformer maintenance, water treatment and chlorine system operations, funeral and mortuary services, signage replacement, concrete repair, equipment parts supply, and specialized facility services. Recent representative work includes a $502.4 thousand Air Force Space Command signage replacement contract at Lompoc, California (awarded August 2024); a $209.1 thousand National Park Service HVAC preventative maintenance and repair contract at Boston National Historical Park in Massachusetts (awarded April 2025, ultimate completion April 2028); a $108.6 thousand Veterans Affairs Lynx cage washer maintenance contract in Gainesville, Florida (awarded June 2023); and a $234.4 thousand Air Combat Command transformer maintenance contract at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada (awarded January 2024, running through January 2029).

Activity has accelerated since 2022 — one award in 2022 growing to eight in 2024 — though the portfolio remains concentrated in small-dollar contracts. Sixteen prime awards across thirteen customer agencies total $2 million in combined potential value, with $1.3 million obligated (63% of potential). The top five customers by dollar value account for 80% of combined potential: Air Force Space Command ($502 thousand), the Agricultural Research Service Northeast Area ($330 thousand), Air Mobility Command ($277 thousand), Air Combat Command ($272 thousand), and the National Park Service Northeast Region ($209 thousand). Award-count concentration is lower — the top five customers represent only 50% of awards — reflecting Core Matrix's strategy of pursuing small individual task orders across many agencies rather than large standing vehicles. Three awards totaling $333 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing near-term recompete exposure.

The vendor operates exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of awards) with no subcontract footprint in the source data. Core Matrix does not hold positions on government-wide IDIQs or GWACs; the single named parent vehicle is its own single-award BPA with Air Mobility Command. Across recent awards, total small business set-asides dominate (13 of 16 awards), with two Air Mobility Command calls carrying no set-aside designation. The NAICS concentration reflects operational breadth — Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance (four awards), Funeral Homes and Funeral Services (three awards), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (two awards), and Industrial Gas Manufacturing (two awards) represent the top categories.
